Unveiling the Mystery: Why Stones are Crucial in Railway Tracks
Aslam o Alikum Friend
friends, have you ever thought that why these pointed rough stones are laid on the railway line instead of these rounded stones?
How are these stones called ballast laid on the railway track? So let’s see guys how the operational work of laying this ballast on the railway track is done.
Instead of a rough stone, if round stones are put on track, what will happen to it as soon as it train passes through it, you know, due to the speed and the weight, if stones are round in shape, they will collide with each other and slide, causing them to move out of place.
